Information security and assurance for all, as one.

Welcome

Russ McRee's HolisticInfoSec.org is dedicated to sharing information security content and resources in an open, clear manner, with the hope of helping improve infosec for all who seek to do so. Information security is best broken down to the most simple components: best practices and common sense. The threat-scape facing an information security practitioner is perpetually dynamic; we must adapt and evolve as do those threats. Holisticinfosec.org endeavors to aid in that process through dynamic content and timely topics in toolsmith. As well we know, those who would do harm never rest: protect your own.

Practice simplicity

Seek to be proactive, rather than reactive

Think creatively, but adhere to standards
